Long line, about 10 people. Cramped inside. Excellent gyoukai tonkotsu, ask for the special gentei noukou (very thick, but limited number each day) thick one with extremely thick noodles also, rich broth and some of the thickest menma I have ever seen. Decent pork. No ticket machine, pay the woman when you leave. She seems very rushed but still seems to maintain some politeness. Large portion. If you don't want the noukou tsukemen then they put the menu out front on a stand for people to look at while they are waiting. Closed Mondays and Tuesdays, except when they are holidays.

I also just noticed in looking back on this post that this was my 100th Recommended shop, after approximately 300 that I've been to in total. Happy Thanksgiving.
